George Clooney & Ryan Gosling: 'Ides of March' Poster!

The drama centers around “an idealistic staffer for a newbie presidential candidate [who] gets a crash course on dirty politics during his stint on the campaign trail.”

George recently revealed that he initially had planned to begin production on the film back in 2007.

“I remember sitting in a restaurant with [co-writer] Grant [Heslov] when Obama won and we both realized we couldn’t make this movie right now. Everyone was so hopefully and happy. Now, the cynicism has come back around, so it’s time,” the 50-year-old actor told USA Today.

“The major issues are some of the major issues we face every day, including questions of morality,” he added. “We’re not trying to be polarizing.”
